Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 onion
160g
4 eggplant
1400g
1 red pepper
80g
4 cups pumpkin
480g
3 cups arugula
60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Peel and roughly chop the onion.
- Cut the eggplants into medium-sized cubes.
- Remove the seeds and slice the red pepper into strips.
- Peel and dice the pumpkin into similar-sized cubes as the eggplant.
3. Season and Roast the Vegetables:
- Place the chopped onion, eggplant, red pepper, and diced pumpkin into a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the vegetables well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
4. Roast the Vegetables:
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. You may need to use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
- Place the baking sheet(s) in the oven and roast for 25-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Turn the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure they roast evenly.
5. Prepare the Salad Base:
- While the vegetables are roasting, rinse and dry the arugula (rocket).
- Place the arugula in a large salad bowl or individual serving plates.
6. Assemble the Salad:
- Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the arugula.
7. Final Touches:
- If you like, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice over the salad for an extra burst of freshness.
- Add a dollop of hummus to each serving for added flavor and creaminess.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it as a main dish or as a side.

Tips:

- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even roasting.

- Toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings to enhance their flavor before roasting.

- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature to achieve a nice caramelization.

- Allow the roasted vegetables to cool slightly before tossing with arugula to prevent wilting.

- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon over the salad for an extra burst of flavor.

- Add a few spoonfuls of hummus on top of the salad or serve on the side.

This Roasted Vegetable Salad with Rocket and Hummus is not just visually appealing but also a delight to the taste buds.
